<p>LIVING AND WRITING ON AMERICA S LEFT COAST: Contemporary Women's Plays is an anthology of diverse and brilliant cutting-edge drama that fills a significant need to hear the voices of women as interpreters of the human experience in the US and beyond. Selected by nomination, the works are penned by five critically acclaimed playwrights as well as an emerging playwright whose vision and literary fortitude prove that theatre thrives on the Western edge of the United States of America. The collection is introduced in a panoptic foreword by Jon Klein, playwright and head of the Master of Fine Arts in Playwriting program at Catholic University, Washington DC. As Nicholas Kristof, co-author with Sheryl Wudunn of Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide, The world is awakening to a powerful truth: Women and girls aren't the problem; they re the solution. This new collection offers views into the varied lives of women characters as they navigate a world in which women are still only one percent of the world's landowners.</p>
